Compass Rose Earrings

PDF version
Here are some novelty earrings I made the other day. I thought the motif looked a bit like a compass. They are very easy to crochet as there are only three rounds of crochet. I used Coats mercer crochet cotton #20 and a 1.5mm hook. Here’s how I made them:

3rd round: Join in 2nd colour, 1 ch, 2 dc into same place, 1 dc into next tr, 1 spiked dc over next stitch, work a picot (3 ch, insert hook into top of spiked dc and work sl st to close), 1 dc into next tr, [2 dc into next tr, 1 dc into next tr, 1 spiked dc over next stitch, work a picot (3 ch, insert hook into top of spiked dc and work sl st to close), 1 dc into next tr] 7 times, sl st into 1st dc to close. Fasten off.

Where are the "dtr" referred to in round 3?3rd round: Join in 2nd colour, 1 ch, 2 dc into same place, 1 dc into next tr, 1 spiked dc over next stitch, work a picot (3 ch, insert hook into top of spiked dc and work sl st to close), 1 dc into next dtr, [2 dc into next dtr, 1 dc into next dtr, 1 spiked dc over next stitch, work a picot (3 ch, insert hook into top of spiked dc and work sl st to close), 1 dc into next dtr] 7 times, sl st into 1st dc to close. Fasten off.

Another good thing in buying and wearing trendy beaded jewelry is you do not want to spend thousands of greenbacks to have people who will appreciate your look and your image. Fashionable beaded jewelry like necklaces, earrings and bracelets are available in wide variety of styles and designs. You'll only spend one or two dollars to few hundred bucks depending on the kind of materials you select for your jewelry.

I live in Liverpool, UK, with my wonderful husband. I have two amazing girls, who are all grown up now and have flown the nest. I love knitting, crocheting and many more crafts - I'm happiest when I'm creating.
I love being inspired by the blogs I read and the pictures I see on Pinterest. I hope that, in turn, I can be an inspiration, through my blog, to others.
